Tattoo Removal

[Goldberg]

So, I want rid of my stupid Tat's I got nearly 17 years ago...
Laser surgery sounds painful on both the body and wallet!
Therefore I have made a purchase of some tattoo removal cream..

Hearing a mixed bag of feedback, therefore I decided that for £50 it's got to be worth a try.

It's for 3 months worth, it apparently breaks down the ink naturally? Not sure how but it claims to be 100% safe....

I'll keep a diary. Even if it fades them enough I'll be happy to get the final stages done with laser surgery.

More when the cream arrives.

Well I am in the same boat as yourself, having a tattoo and living here in Japan is having a few draw backs! I have looked into laser removal and I read that the pain is about the same as if you were having a tattoo.

As for the cream... sounds very much like a skin whiting product.

you should take pics m8 of before during (once a week) and after. i would be interested in this. ive got tattoos on my neck(what a dick i am)

One of my cousins spent hundreds (if not thousands) on laser treatment to get rid of one on her wrist. She said it was MUCH more painful than the original tattoo and was getting the treatment once a month for what seemed like years. She gave up after a while and got a cover-up tat.
I'm interested to see how this turns out...BBs suggestion of weekly pics would be worthwhile

i cant understand how a cream can possibley work?? my mate got laser to some awesome dots he had on his fingers and after quite a few sessions, they never properly went away. i have a load of proper shit ye olde tatts (bulldog etc) i would love rid of but only if i knew they would be 100% gone and the moethod didnt take years and years. i have yet to see a coverup i thought was any good.

Had laser treatment and cant see any remnants at all.

The blue/black ink is easiest to shift, with the colours being harder to remove.

Being an idiot at the time I was lucky, as I only had the shitty blue / black ones which are now totally gone.

How much doe laser treatment generally cost (per session)

If you look up Woodys Tattoo in High Wycombe they have a cheap laser service which my pals been having done seems to work okay although his arms blow up like inflatables due to it.

Think they charge about £30-40 a session which is usually a couple of inch square or so.

[Thrush]

cheap and laser shouldn't go together.

Laser removal isn't cheap, but paying for a mistake never is.

There shouldn't be massive swelling after laser treatment, and TBH I wouldnt get laser treatment at a tattooist parlour.
As for that price, well I'm pretty sure it was nearer the £100 mark I paid and we are talking about 15 years ago. Neat job tho' no scars and all gone.

Pretty sure it was Laser Skin Care or summat, had a Saturday clinic in NHS hosptal.
Well worth it in my mind.

Buhahaha, do they think you're Yakuza?

[peterc4]

Buhahaha, do they think you're Yakuza?

[Thrush]

Yes. They think I am gang related to the dumb fuck tattoo club ;-) I supose the Japanese look at foreigners with tattoo's as trouble, or at the very least someone you don't want around you.

I really enjoy all the onsen's out here, I'd also like to go swimming. As a tourist I wouldn't have too many problems because I'd only visit the place once. But living out here makes it hard, and me hard.

Did a lot of research on this matter, and the general opinion is that creams do not work. The GF ended up getting laser treatment which is going well.
